Greek Life

No Greek Life

What to do for fun

There's little to do on campus. We have some activities on campus but we have a school right next to us that has a lot of activities that we can participate in. We have parties twice a semester and have picnics for family and friends of the current students.

In three sentences

It is a small campus community with a small size class. We have tutoring for free on campus everyday for every subject or major. The most friendliest community I've ever been too and there's a train station right in front of the school.

They have A LOT of traditions. It's a Catholic school expect mass on some of these events.

Bang for the buck

It is very very expensive...even with the scholarships offered. For me it was worth it for some, not so much.

What to do for fun

Go to events, participate. The school has their moments of utter fun. Find it!

Food and Dining

The food is actually okay, it is not horrible but they have their moments. If chicken is on sale on the market than expect chicken all week...

Dorm Life

It's lonely in O'Connor, it's more lively in Founders.

Academic Rigor

The professors are tough but they do their best to help you succeed.

Tips for prospective students

If you're a freshman than honestly it is going to be okay. You'll make friends and you will get along decently. That is if you are a huge social butterfly and do everything under the bright sun. Also it is quite expensive here, make sure you get a lot of funding and that you really want to come here.

In three sentences

An all women's catholic college that has a good amount of diversity. The educational air is quite rich and the professors do their best to help you succeed. Surrounded by nature and near quaint towns.

Kelly

This is one of the most secure campuses I've ever been too. They have security entering the campus, they do rounds, they have phones around campus, and you must sign people into the buildings.

Greek Life

They do not have any but you can always go to the parties and such next door at the other two colleges.

Clubs and Activities

There are so many clubs and activities that you can participate in and being a member of many of them, I can say it really helps me enjoy my time at school and meet new people.

Great for these types of students

Very diverse population so anyone would fit in.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

They are very good about traditions and although they have weird ones, they are fun. They always have a Founder's Day celebration, spirit week, 100's Night celebration, and many more.

Bang for the buck

It is a bit expensive but they do offer scholarships and it is worth it.

What to do for fun

Many places to eat around the school as well as going bowling, seeing a movie, go-carting and going to clubs. There is also a fun plex near the campus. The train is right near school so NYC is close and convenient.

Food and Dining

The food is good there just are not a lot of options. It depends on the day whether or not there are many things to eat. I do not mind the food and the staff is wonderful.

Dorm Life

There are only two dorms but it is nice because you know everybody and feel like a family. My friends and I have a blast whether we are in the dorms or out and about. They have a pool table, big T.V. and other amenities that are fun.

Academic Rigor

Academically, it is challenging but this makes it better for when you go to get a job. They offer tutoring and outside resources that make it easier for you to grasp the concepts.

Tips for prospective students

Make your experience your own and do not listen to others. You make your life how you want it to be and do not let others influence your decisions. Find your own groups of friends that have similar interests and explore the world!

In three sentences

The College of Saint Elizabeth is a great college to go to and although it is small, this makes it better for the student. The teachers are there to help and educate but are also understanding as well as encouraging you to grow as an individual and become an active member in society. They have many activities and clubs that help make your college years more memorable.

What to do for fun

Not much. It based off of what you can find to do.

Food and Dining

CSE has one dining hall that is only open certain times. Res. students are given meal plans with their on campus tuition price. Commutes can have a meal plan, but it cost extra. As for snacks, there are vending machines but they are filled will chips, candy, etc. You will have to order out if you miss the windows the cafe is open.

Dorm Life

Average. The dorms are in older buildings so they lack a little. However it is what you make of it. I have seem some colorful beautiful rooms and I have seem some boring ones.

Tips for prospective students

Try to speak with students enrolled already at the school that are majoring in the subject you are interested in. Remember recuiters are paid to recuite.

In three sentences

College of Saint Elizabeth is a very beautiful school. A school that allows you to work one on one with professors as a result of its tiny class size.

Campus Safety

The safety here is really good. They have blue lights installed and everyone knows the number for the security office.

Greek Life

There is no greek life here as this is practically one big sorority as it is.

Clubs and Activities

There is a wide variety of clubs and activities so everyone should be satisfied.

There is a path located on campus that connects FDU and CSE.

Bang for the buck

This is a really good college for your money and helps you save money in the end.

What to do for fun

This college has 8 sports and is completely for leadership on campus with many clubs that can be represented. Here, everyone knows everyone and there are activities that the college hosts.

Food and Dining

The food is pretty good as the chefs on campus are all really good. There is almost always a place to sit down in the dining room and they do offer the option of takeout food.

Dorm Life

Everyone is very welcoming and the dorms are not too big but not too small either.

Academic Rigor

They are completely for improving your grades and having you do the best possible while still getting all the luxuries of going to college.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you look at everything you want in your college life and know when forms are due.

In three sentences

Everyone is very welcoming and recgonize you as I have been to the campus more than once and I was recgonized every time i was back there. Yes, this is an all girls school but rite next door is FDU and down the road is Drew University so you are not missing out on anything. Also, the dorms are not too small they look like they are just the right size.

Emelia from Newark, NJ

The college of Saint Elizabeth security staff does a superior job on keeping the campus as well as students from harm's way.

Greek Life

There are many beautiful things that can capture once sight when you enter the College of Saint Elizabeth, but what would leave you speechless is our Greek theater. Its designed to capture the true essences of every play student partakes in.

If you are looking for a campus which is small and safe this is the perfect college to attend. If you are looking for a college where you feel important, loved, and has a lot of diversity you have the right college.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The College of Saint Elizabeth is known for its annual hundreds night where students who are seniors in college come together to acknowledge the 100 days left before Graduation.

What to do for fun

Here at the College of Saint Elizabeth there are many things to do for fun. Some students enjoy swimming in the pool, while other enjoy exercising , some find it very relaxing to attend events at Dolan performance hall our auditorium , and others just like to enjoy our Rath parties.

Food and Dining

With incredible kitchen staff the college of Saint Elizabeth has six different stations which provides student with healthy meals. Weather Breakfast, lunch, and dinner students at CSE will always have an excellent choice to mak

Dorm Life

The College of Saint Elizabeth has two main Dormitory O'Connor hall and Founders Hall. I've had the pleasure to live in both dorms to know just enough about each one. In Founders Hall you have a Upper and Lower level of what we call the entertainment section. Each floor has a two bathrooms and one full kitchen. The rooms are extremely built to fit two students per dorm. As for O'Connor hall, which is much bigger, has two bathrooms and two full kitchens per each floor. Both halls all have a quite study place to hang out and do some studying, and free laundry which operates 24/7.

Academic Rigor

Based on the academics CSE's students can and will gain education as well as motivation skills which will prepares them for the difficult world. In each areas of study, students will come across challenges which will lead them to seek for support that they will need to succeed in the real world.

Tips for prospective students

Although the transition for high school to college might sound scary to some students it is not. College gives you a sense of freedom, but it is up to you the student to learn how to manage and use your freedom in a positive way.

In three sentences

The college of Saint Elizabeth, also known as CSE, is a small learning community with incredible staff and students. Although it is a liberal art school, this institution provides a large variety of careers path that many students can choose from. CSE provides its stakeholders with the need for food, water, sleep, and education.

IS from NJ

Security rides around the small campus, but in my opinion pose no real threat to someone if they were trying to harm the students.

Greek Life

What Greek life?

Clubs and Activities

There are clubs and some activities at the college.

Great for these types of students

Students who want to commute to a small school where the professors know you on a more personal level. I would not suggest dorming there.

Bang for the buck

Like i said before, the price of the school is ridiculous compared to what the students actually get. Financial aid plays games with you and the school's cost goes up every year.

What to do for fun

Honestly, everyone goes home on the weekends. The school has pretty much nothing to do.

Food and Dining

The dining is horrible. There is little to no variety of food. Also, the dining room hours are ridiculous for a busy college student to comply to. Breakfast ends at 9:30am, lunch is from 11am-1:30pm, and dinner is from 4:15pm-8pm. on weekends they have a brunch schedule and dinner ends at 5:30pm.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is not too great. They are small and old. Plus it is an all girls school with immature visitation rules. The visitation rules are that all visitors must be signed out by 12:30 am. I feel like i have more freedom at my own home than at the college. Also, the girls are full of drama.

Academic Rigor

The classes are great. They are small and personal. Most of them want you to succeed in their class.

Tips for prospective students

This school tries to trick you your first year by offering a lot of money. The next year, the financial aid will not be the same, so get scholarships or find a cheaper school. The school is not worth as much as it is.

In three sentences

Small campus with little to do. Great class sizes and professors that know you personally.
